Daniela Rossell
Lecturer
BioDaniela Rossell was born and raised in Mexico City. She is an interdisciplinary artist and teacher who works solo and collaboratively in the fields of visual art and writing. Her first book, Ricas y Famosas, was described by historian Cuauhtémoc Medina as “among the most significant political works of the art of her country,” and by the New York Times as a “photographic journey through Mexico's twilight zone.” Solo exhibitions of Rossell’s work have been organized by Greene Naftali gallery in New York City, by Spruth Magers Projekte in Munich and by kurimanzutto gallery in Mexico City (in collaboration with Galen Jackson and as part of Siembra). Her work has appeared in numerous books such as Witness to Her Art, Things with a History, An Exhibition About the Exchange Rates of Bodies and Values; in publications such as ArtForum, El País, Le Point, Der Tagesspiegel, The Guardian, Proceso, TvNovelas, Le Monde; and has been shown around the world in museums and cultural institutions such as MoMA PS1, Tate Modern, Hammer Museum, SF MOMA, Les Recontres d'Arles, Kunst-Werke Berlin, Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes to name a few.
Professor Rossell will be joining Stanford’s Department of Art & Art History again for the 2025 Spring quarter. She will be teaching ARTSTUDI 242: Drawing and Creative Writing—a hands-on, interdisciplinary course that gives students both the tools to claim the complexity of their own stories and the opportunity to plunge into contemporary art from the double perspective of the visual and the verbal. -

Theodore Roth
Assistant Professor of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Roth Lab develops, applies, and translates scalable genetic manipulation technologies in primary human cells and complex in vivo tissue environments. Working with students, trainees, and staff with backgrounds across bioengineering, genetics, immunology, oncology, and pathology, the lab has developed CRISPR-All, a unified genetic perturbation language able to arbitrarily and combinatorially examine genetic perturbations across perturbation type and scale in primary human cells. Ongoing applications of CRISPR-All in the lab have revealed surprising capacities to synthetically engineer human cells beyond evolved cellular states. These new capacities to perturb human cell’s genetics beyond their evolved functionality drives ongoing work to understand the biology and therapeutic potential of synthetic cell state engineering - in essence learning how to build new human genes tailor made for a specific cell and specific environment to drive previously inaccessible therapeutic cellular functions.

Grant M. Rotskoff
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
BioGrant Rotskoff studies the nonequilibrium dynamics of living matter with a particular focus on self-organization from the molecular to the cellular scale. His work involves developing theoretical and computational tools that can probe and predict the properties of physical systems driven away from equilibrium. Recently, he has focused on characterizing and designing physically accurate machine learning techniques for biophysical modeling. Prior to his current position, Grant was a James S. McDonnell Fellow working at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in the Biophysics graduate group supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. His thesis, which was advised by Phillip Geissler and Gavin Crooks, developed theoretical tools for understanding nonequilibrium control of the small, fluctuating systems, such as those encountered in molecular biophysics. He also worked on coarsegrained models of the hydrophobic effect and self-assembly. Grant received an S.B. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago, where he became interested in biophysics as an undergraduate while working on free energy methods for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations.
Research Summary
My research focuses on theoretical and computational approaches to "mesoscale" biophysics. Many of the cellular phenomena that we consider the hallmarks of living systems occur at the scale of hundreds or thousands of proteins. Processes like the self-assembly of organelle-sized structures, the dynamics of cell division, and the transduction of signals from the environment to the machinery of the cell are not macroscopic phenomena—they are the result of a fluctuating, nonequilibrium dynamics. Experimentally probing mesoscale systems remains extremely difficult, though it is continuing to benefit from advances in cryo-electron microscopy and super-resolution imaging, among many other techniques. Predictive and explanatory models that resolve the essential physics at these intermediate scales have the power to both aid and enrich the understanding we are presently deriving from these experimental developments.
Major parts of my research include:
1. Dynamics of mesoscale biophysical assembly and response.— Biophysical processes involve chemical gradients and time-dependent external signals. These inherently nonequilibrium stimuli drive supermolecular organization within the cell. We develop models of active assembly processes and protein-membrane interactions as a foundation for the broad goal of characterizing the properties of nonequilibrium biomaterials.
2. Machine learning and dimensionality reduction for physical models.— Machine learning techniques are rapidly becoming a central statistical tool in all domains of scientific research. We apply machine learning techniques to sampling problems that arise in computational chemistry and develop approaches for systematically coarse-graining physical models. Recently, we have also been exploring reinforcement learning in the context of nonequilibrium control problems.
3. Methods for nonequilibrium simulation, optimization, and control.— We lack well-established theoretical frameworks for describing nonequilibrium states, even seemingly simple situations in which there are chemical or thermal gradients. Additionally, there are limited tools for predicting the response of nonequilibrium systems to external perturbations, even when the perturbations are small. Both of these problems pose key technical challenges for a theory of active biomaterials. We work on optimal control, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and simulation methodology, with a particular interest in developing techniques for importance sampling configurations from nonequilibrium ensembles. -

Larissa Roux MD PhD
Adjunct Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioLarissa Roux is a sport medicine physician and health economist. She completed medical school at the University of Alberta, and followed this with residency training in family medicine and a fellowship in primary care sport medicine at the University of Calgary, as well as advanced training in lifestyle medicine. She combined her clinical training with a master’s in public health at Harvard, and a PhD in health economics at the University of Calgary. Her interest in public health and health policy resulted in a post-doctoral fellowship at the US Centers for Disease Control, in Atlanta in the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity. Although she has deeply enjoyed working with athletes and dancers, her main clinical interest has been in the optimization of human performance in patients with chronic conditions, including obesity, arthritis, and trauma. Her academic and health policy work has focused on the economic evaluation of competing therapies for obesity, and population-level physical activity promotion strategies in the US and around the world. Larissa's interest in data science and technology applications in global health contributed to an ongoing health information technology venture. She believes that innovative, tailored, multidisciplinary, and multimodal approaches to chronic disease have transformative potential in human health.
